The Gerber Iris Flashlight

The Gerber Iris Flashlight. I got this light in a package deal with the previously reviewed Gerber Crucial. I had been looking for a good EDC light and couldn't decide which one I wanted until I saw the Crucial Iris combo on Amazon. You can purchase the Gerber Iris on Amazon Click here anywhere from $13-$50 yes that's a huge range and I have no clue why that is. If you are going to spend $30 on this guy you might as well Click here and get the Gerber Crucial and Iris package for about $30. The length for the Iris runs just over 6" weights almost 5oz, and runs on two AA batteries, and runs for eight hours. The AA batteries are not only convenient, but also cheaper than other batteries you see other lights running. At 60 lumens, the Iris is not the brightest of lights, but it will get you by. The body or casing of the Iris is glass filled nylon, and you can run the light on steady, or momentary on, also spot light mode, or flood light. The Iris is waterproof up to 3 meters, impact resistant, has a textured handle for better grip, and the on/off button is recessed to eliminate accidental turn on if your carrying in your pocket. There is a lanyard hole and mine came with a small amount of cord. If your looking for a small EDC light, maybe with a pocket clip, you should keep looking. If you need an emergency weather light, or to find stuff around the house, maybe go camping, fishing, or perform a simple task in the dark, I would recommend this one. This is a great light and I use it often but it stays home. It feels nice in your hand, also the color of the light produced is a nice neutral color, no yellow or "warmth" to it. That's about all I have on the Gerber Iris, hope this helps!
